KFC stores across Devon remain closed as the fast food chain continues to sort out its delivery issues.

According to the KFC website, only one Devon outlet, in Marsh Barton, Exeter, was open as of 9.18pm last night.

Initially, the issue was due to the restaurant not having enough chips, but it appears that the fast food chain is also dealing with a shortage of chicken which is affecting branches across the country.

A post on the official KFC website reads: “We’ve brought a new delivery partner onboard, but they’ve had a couple of teething problems – getting fresh chicken out to 900 restaurants across the country is pretty complex!

KFC was forced to close last week after they ran out of chips

“We won’t compromise on quality, so no deliveries has meant some of our restaurants are closed, and others are operating a limited menu, or shortened hours.

“We know that this might have inconvenienced some of you over the last few days, and disappointed you when you wanted your fried chicken fix - we’re really sorry about that.

“Shout out to our restaurant teams who are working flat out to get us back up and running again.

“Hope to see you in our restaurants soon.

The website then goes on to list all of the KFC outlets that opened last night, with the solitary Devon branch to trade as normal being based in Marsh Barton Trading Estate Unit 10, Alphington Park, Ashton Road, Marsh Barton Trading Estate, Exeter, Devon, EX2 8AA.

The issue has been ongoing since last Friday, but it was hoped that all of the issues would be resolved by the weekend.
